Upon learning that Dai Weisi had acquired an external soul bone, Zhu Zhuyun's beautiful eyes sparkled, her breath becoming quick. She immediately said, "Weisi, is it really an external soul bone? Let me see!"

Hearing this, Dai Weisi couldn't help but smile, thinking to himself: Is this really you, Brother Jie?

"Of course," he replied.

With that, Dai Weisi revealed the Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bear's claw bone. As Zhu Zhuyun saw the shimmering soul bone covering his hand, her eyes lit up.

"Indeed, it's an external soul bone! Weisi, I didn't expect you'd surprise me so quickly!"

Just earlier, they were talking about changing the rules of the Star Luo Empire, and only a few hours later, Dai Weisi had obtained a soul bone—one that could even grow over time!

Zhu Zhuyun could almost imagine that if Dai Weisi ever reached the title of Titled Douluo in the future, this external soul bone would be equivalent to a hundred-thousand-year soul bone, greatly boosting his power.

"Weisi!" Zhu Zhuyun's eyes widened with excitement as she asked, "What does it feel like to absorb an external soul bone?"

"What does it feel like…" Dai Weisi glanced at his Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bear paw and murmured, "It feels like my strength has increased a lot. Also, my soul power has reached the peak of level 39. It won't be long before I break through to level 40!"

While the difference between level 39 and level 40 might seem small, the gap between the two was like a chasm.

In the original story, Dai Mubai spent two years just progressing from level 37 to 39 and stayed stuck at level 39 for half a year. Only after taking the rare "Qirong Tongtian Ju* (Heaven Reaching Chrysanthemum) " herb did he manage to break through to level 40.

T/L: I couldn't find it's official English Translation But I put its rough English Translation in Brackets.

Now, by absorbing a two-thousand-year-old external soul bone, Dai Weisi had essentially gained the equivalent of several months of cultivation, and he was already content with the progress.

"Also, this external soul bone grants me a powerful new skill called Dark Golden Claw, which has the terrifying power to tear the heavens apart!"

"Tear the heavens apart? You're exaggerating!" Zhu Zhuyun rolled her eyes, clearly skeptical. "Even if it's a rare external soul bone, it's still just a two-thousand-year-old soul bone. How could it possibly have such immense power?"

"True, it does sound a bit exaggerated," Dai Weisi laughed, "but I can confidently say that the destructive power of this move is no less than that of a ten-thousand-year soul ring ability!"

Seeing that Zhu Zhuyun still didn't believe him, Dai Weisi chuckled and said, "What, you don't believe me? How about we make a bet? I'll use the soul bone ability in front of you, and if it really has the power of a ten-thousand-year soul skill, you'll agree to one small request of mine. What do you say?"

"Oh?"

Zhu Zhuyun's competitive spirit was stirred, and her expression turned curious. "Alright, I'm in! But if you lose, you'll have to agree to one small request of mine. No backing out—whoever backs out is a little bitch. Deal?"

"No problem!"

Dai Weisi casually agreed, confident that this bet was too easy. The two of them got out of the carriage and walked to a small mountain, where a smooth and solid rock wall lay before them.

"White Tiger Possession!"

A mighty tiger's roar echoed through the land as Dai Weisi's muscles expanded, his entire body becoming more powerful, especially his right hand. The sharpness of the tiger claws combined with the bear paw's strength made his right hand look like a majestic dragon's claw!

"I'm coming, Dark Golden Claw!"

With his soul power flowing into the right claw bone, the soul bone erupted in golden light, dazzling and radiant! From the sharp bear paw, one could almost hear the echoes of tiger roars and bear growls.

Dai Weisi swiftly swung his claws and charged forward. His speed wasn't the fastest, but his momentum was overwhelming. With a powerful leap, he soared ten meters into the air and then descended, bringing with him the force of the heavens as he pounced downward.

His right hand, shaped like a claw, slashed through the air and pierced straight into the solid rock of the small mountain!

Boom!

The explosion erupted violently. In an instant, the mountain trembled, and countless boulders plummeted from the sky.

The claw easily pierced through the rock, but that was just the beginning. As Dai Weisi descended back to the ground under the force of gravity, the only thing left on the small mountain was a deep, jagged claw mark!

Below, watching this unfold, Zhu Zhuyun and Li Hu were both dumbfounded, their mouths hanging open as if they could barely comprehend what they had just witnessed.

Li Hu, especially, nodded in awe and commented, "As expected of the Crown Prince. What a terrifying strike! This attack's power is no less than the full-force blow from a strong assault-type Soul King!"

"Although His Highness is only level 39 right now, with this move, anyone below level 60 would be no match for him!"

Dai Weisi laughed, hearing this praise. "Haha, Li Uncle, you flatter me. Maybe I'm not afraid of assault-type or defense-type Soul Masters, but if I face a speed-type Soul Master, I'd have a hard time."

"To have such a powerful soul bone, Your Highness is still aware of your weaknesses. I truly admire you," Li Hu said earnestly. Dai Weisi's progress now was far beyond what he had achieved at that age.

Then Dai Weisi turned to Zhu Zhuyun. "Well, how about it? I won, didn't I?"

"You won… so what?"

"Don't forget our bet. You need to agree to one small request."

"Fine, what is it? But remember, it can only be a small request, and it must be something I can actually do!"

"Of course, it's something you can do," Dai Weisi said with a mischievous grin, making Zhu Zhuyun feel uneasy.

"Go ahead, what's the request?"

"It's simple, really. Just give me a kiss."

"Hah? That simple?" Zhu Zhuyun was taken aback. She had thought it would be something more intimate, like sharing a bed. But it was just a kiss?

Their relationship was close, and Zhu Zhuyun had kissed Dai Weisi before, but it had always been on the cheek.

"I haven't finished yet. This time, it's not on the cheek... but on the lips."

"Hah?" Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuyun's face immediately turned bright red. She quickly waved her hands. "No, no, I can't do that! This request is too embarrassing! I can't!"

"What? Are you going back on your word?" Dai Weisi quickly turned the situation around, his eyes flashing mischievously. "You said before, whoever backs out is a little dog, didn't you? Come on, let me hear you bark like a dog."

"Well, so what? I'm backing out! What are you going to do about it, huh?" Zhu Zhuyun retorted, puffing up her cheeks.

"I won't do anything… except maybe tell Zhuqing about this. She's probably upset right now. If I tell her, maybe it'll cheer her up. Hehehe..." Dai Weisi grinned mischievously.

Smooch!

Without further words, Zhu Zhuyun shyly leaned in and planted a kiss on Dai Weisi's lips. Her face was bright red as she quickly ran back to the carriage.

If Zhuqing found out about this, she'd probably laugh her head off and come up with some embarrassing nickname, like "Cheating Sister" or something equally embarrassing.

Li Hu, who had witnessed everything like a third wheel, smiled knowingly as he observed them. From time to time, he let out a sigh.

Ah, youth is wonderful!
